Is an AI system smart when it can do what a human can do? Or … when it can do things humans can’t do?
For years we’ve had the Turing Test … measuring AI’s ability to mimic being human. But is that really the right benchmark?
In this TechFirst, host John Koetsier chats with a computer scientist who has been working in AI for more than a decade. He’s currently VP strategy at Intuition Robotics, which makes an AI-powered robotic care companion for the elderly called ElliQ
His name is Assaf Gad, and we talk about intelligence, AI and OI (organic intelligence), as well as how smart machines like ElliQ engage with people.
